Welcome to our BLOG, probably one of the best on the web. NE England, ah??
Well I spent about 9 years in England with the USAF, met my wife there (she was in the RAF) and we're still happily married after 44 years. I love England and have many relatives (on the wife's side) and lots of friends there, but mostly in the south. Hope to get back one day for an extended visit.
Bring your computer problems here and if you feel you can help someone else with a problem, feel free to contribute by posting your comments. Hope to see you on the BLOG's. Enjoy!!!

Name: David Dickinson

Nickname:
*Dave (pretty normal, can see how we got to that)
*dickinsd (some wise spark NT guy gave me it as my user login at college about 8 years ago - and people actually call me this???)
*Cheap as Chips (Unfortunately I share a name with some orange guy from UK telivision)
*Steveneven (WHAT? - I joined a friends site, after a few months he censored the word dick, so I could not log in any more, I asked him for a new name, and this is what I ended up with, now I seem to use it on loads of forums)

Height: round about 6'
Weight: Far too much
Hair: Brown - Used to be ginger, but grow out of that (unfortunately there are other parts of my body with hair that is still young and ... ginger)
Eyes: Blue
Location: UK
Age: 25 (best years behing me) :cry:

Hobbies: Listening to music, movies, computers - I love learning new stuff

Relationship Status: single (god damn it)

Fav Music: LOADS - I honestly like nearly everything - as long as its in small doses, I like to have my pretty large music collection playing completely random so that I get a nice mix of styles/artists/genres/age

Education: BSc Computing & IS, Nat Dip Computer Studies, GCSE's and other stuff...

Work: Currently ... NONE
Well - ish, I part-own a company, that offers IT services (networking, training blah balh balh) but with poor management we never actually have any money, so advertising has been pretty sparse and we have made very LITTLE money.
SO I pretty much need to move on

Favorite Movies: Oh man... I love movies, not a huge fan of cinemas, but I do love movies. I have around 250 DVD's and some cr*ppy videos, my favorite movies changes from week to week. Currently my top 5 would be:
Oceans 11, The Transporter, Get Shorty, Bruce Almighty, Ronin

Favorite TV Shows: Love the simpsons, although I think its getting a little old now, This show on ABC1 - Once and Again - pretty captivating, Judge John Deed. And thats about it (BTW the judge John deed is not a reality show like the awful judge judy - just incase you never heard of it, its a crime drama if this is OK, look at this BBC page )

Favorite Video Games: Quake 3 (multiplayer), SOF2 (multiplayer), UT2003 (multiplayer), Call of Duty (single player & multiplayer pretty damn good) (BUT games like this can ONLY be played on the PC - consoles suck for FPS)

Stuff you Dislike:REALITY TV (aaaarrrgggghhhh) (except the auditions part of pop/american idol - thats pretty funny) I dislike been lied to. Really don't like house cleaning - BUT dusting now that is a pain in the ass. AND currently I hate not having any money, and only finding meaningless jobs in the job paper.

Too many ignorant people think it's for little kids.


I know this is not going to be a great response, BUT...

I did watch some anime on C4 about 4/5 years ago, and really did not think much of it.

And to be honest, I think some people don't like it because its NOT for kids.
If that makes sense, not sure it does to me, but this is pretty much the exact word for word opinion of my 'set in her ways' mum.

Personally I did watch some (perhaps C4's line-up was not a good example of anime) and thought it was pretty rubbish, however, people do like different things.
